Exclamation Re: Another Swift Admirer



Do Swift Drivers experience more parking lot 'accidents' than the rest of the industry combined? My personal experience and listening to others who seem knowlegable I've come to that conclusion.

Wondering what percentage of Swift Drivers are 'gay' (you know, the F word). Some ex-Swift Drivers came to work for us after they lost the completely mis-handled Volvo Heavy Truck account; talk about Dwight Yoakam wannabes walking around looking at everyone's crotch! Oh yeah, they all made $60k a year and were home every weekend!(???) I found one seemingly honest driver who was involved from beginning to end in Swift's 'debacle' and he stated he barely earned $30k for calendar year 2005.

Wasn't too long ago a Swift Driver traveling west on I-80 in IA was 'bragging' (over his overpowered radio) how Swift 'begged' him to come back to work and how he now had it 'made' - he basically admitted his primary goal in life was to 'visit' every truckstop rest room and rest area restroom...it was pathetic. I haven't found one reasonable, well adjusted person say a good thing about Swift (goes for Schneider, JB Hunt, etc.)

TL segment is a 'wasteland' for all but a very select few.

Are you a repressed homosexual or just ingnorant? You have a problem with "gays" at every company you come in contact with.

Re: Another Swift Admirer

The main problem I had with swift is; unlike JB or SN when I was
trying to pass them they would block me. I don't know what it
was but it would happen with Swift a lot. Swift drivers seemed
really pissed off at the world and reading this forum I now know
why. JB and SN would usually stay in the right lane and let me
get by. I would stay in the right if I saw one of the many trucks that
were faster than I was trying to pass.

Quoting Oscar Wilde is not suprising; quoting Jim McGreevey would be more appropriate. I'm sure ole Jim made alot of 'gay truckers' happy at NJ rest areas and truckstops:

Don't have to look far to see the mess this great nation has found itself in: the Ken Mehlman - Jeff Guckert/Gannon debacle. Looks like GW, Rove and Libby are in the same 'boat' too:

No one can legitimately defend 'gaydom' which is not the same as 'homosexual behavior'. Nice try - you loose.

I am not trying to win anything with you. Basically YOUR SAYING YOU ARE IGNORANT? People like you are why inbreeding is frowned upon I am gettig so tired of your bs. Every job you have ever had you have had a problem with. According to you it is because of some "gay" conspiracy. News flash for you bubba: you wouldn't even recognize most gay truckers. Just take a minute to stop and think (if you are able) maybe the problem is you. Now go spew your garbage somewhere else. Maybe you can get a job at Taco Bell, unless ofcourse everybody over there is gay to.

Simply wasnt paying attention, looked very young and green, and also looked either extremely tired or strung out on dope.
Another one wiped out on the PA Turnpike Friday night. He bought it up on Sideling Hill...rolled over in the median.

Sir, no one here attacked your career choice. Someone has to do your job. But your choice of employers, however, leaves lots to be desired.

Quote:
...and not matter what I say, you hold that Swift is an evil organization hell bent on treating their drivers like crap...and no matter how much I try to explaine how and why things happen, you will always see it as the driver's being right....and the MAN being wrong..
Well, if they'd treat their drivers better, they might attract better drivers.

Quote:
...tell ya what...I will give you my work address..feel free to come on down and spend a night on my side of the computer....you will see ignorance and a complete lack or respect for company policy and management that is beyond belief...
I hate to tell you this, but respect is earned, not given. Just because you're management doesn't mean squat, and Federal law supercedes company policy. You'd do well to remember that. It is the driver's job, not yours, to know the laws under which he operates, and to comply with those laws at all times, company policy be damned.

Quote:
you will also see some exampes of the finest drivers ever to grace the industry...there are two sides to every story....try looking at both sides for once....attack away
Oh, really? Would those "finest drivers" be the type that would drive that truck off of a cliff simply because you said so? That's not a good driver. That's an idiot.

If I may add someting here, I don't have a problem with homosexuals in general as long as they at least attempt to act normal. What you all do or don't do is entirely your business. It's the effeminate and obnoxious types that I have the problem with. Frankly, they make me sick.

I don't walk around leering at and making passes at women. It's certainly not to much too ask for homosexuals to act with the same sort of decorum.

Thankyou for giving my points full credibility; like I really needed your 'bluster' for that purpose. Getting 'tired' huh? Have you ever made a constructive contribution to any worthwhile endeavour in your life?


MACK E-6: Very few of these 'fools' act 'effeminate'; they often act overly 'macho' to an extreme and resort to 'bullying' and 'manipulation' to prove their self actualized (?) 'superiority'. littlebit is right in that one wouldn't ordinarily notice them which is fine; it's the 'bad behavior' that gets them noticed. They are often easily spotted within the trucking industry due to 'issues' outlined within this thread.

This thread is supposed to be about the Swift 'malfunction'; looks like their 'Control Defamation' (Ministry of Truth) department is coming into play on this board. I think they better bring a 'heavy hitter' to the plate instead of littlebit.

Re: Another Swift Admirer

I know nothing whatsoever about the homo drivers in Swift or any other company.But what I do know is I never talked to a Swift driver who was happy with Swift.When you go thru orientation with Swift,they drill it into you that they are the biggest and best trucking co.out there.To me they are the biggest mismanaged co.out there.Would not be surprised to see them fold at anytime.I actually think some of these young drivers believe what they are told about being the biggest and the best.So they figure they own the road.
